Web Proxy using Flex 2?

Question

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to create a proxy service similar to sites like
proxy7.com in Flex, but I'm having extreme difficulties. Right now
I just want to get the basics, so I'm trying to load basic sites
like google.com. Here is the script I have so far:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" width="50%" height="50%">
<mx:HTTPService id="loadSite" method="get" />
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="sent" >
<mx:SetProperty target="{panel1}" name="height"
value="95%"/>
<mx:SetStyle target="{panel1}" name="borderColor"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{panel1}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:TextArea creationComplete="getPage.send()"
id="siteDisp" top="43" right="10" bottom="10" left="10"
htmlText="{getPage.lastResult.toString()}" />
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
<mx:Panel width="95%" height="85" layout="absolute"
verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" title="Josh's Proxy"
id="panel1" resizeEffect="Resize" >
<mx:TextInput id="urlin" top="10" left="10" right="70"
editable="true" text="Enter URL here..." focusIn="if(urlin.text ==
'Enter URL here...'){ urlin.text = '
http://' }" height="25"/>
<mx:Button label="Go" width="50" right="10" top="10"
height="25" click="getPage.send()" id="button1" />
</mx:Panel>
<mx:HTTPService id="getPage" url="{urlin.text}"
resultFormat="text" showBusyCursor="true"
result="currentState='sent'" />
</mx:Application>
It starts to work a little bit, but all it returns is
"Google". Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Are you using Flex Builder 3? Flex 3.0 beta Data
visualization components are available as part of FB 3 only. You
can select either 2.0.1 hotfix 3 charts (consists of only
charts.swc) or 3.0.0 data visualization (consists of
datavisualization.swc). through multiple sdks feature of FB3. For
flex 3 beta, flex 2 charting key will work. so if you want to try
out new features in charts and new components like Advanced data
grid you can switch to 3.0.0 sdk and use same flex 2 charting key
to remove watermark from charts.
